It's possible they don't want to be - or be seen as - culturally appropriative.

[(Anonymous)]

You kinda just have to let the Legacies writers obey the inscrutable exhortations of their souls

Otherwise it wouldn't be legacies

[(Anonymous)]

Of course, because if they include the mythology of Brown People (nebulous umbrella there) they get jumped on by hundreds of people on Twitter about Cultural Appropriation and then people demand they take random appropriate POC onto the team so it's Allowed.

I can see why they'd stick to Eurocentric shit. It's less expensive and being a little bit boring is better than being vilified for including a Tokoloshe or Bunyip or whatever else.

Most people don't know anything about other mythologies, lbr. And that's ANY mythologies, like you barely see celtic or germanic legends/myths (that aren't directly from brothers grimm or werewolves/vamps) on these shows either. At BEST people will go Norse, and then they'll use the four they know: Loki, Odin, Thor, MAYBE Freya because they think she's a Scandinavian Aphrodite.

Unlike the bitter comments above, I doubt it has to do with cultural appropriation because a) the CW doesn't give fuck b) nobody gives a fuck about the CW and c) the CW appropriates hoodoo all the damn time.

Meghan is NOTHING like Diana. Diana used her fame to bring attention to worthy charities. Meghan uses her fame to bring attention to Meghan. Di wasn't perfect but she did amazing things for people all over the world. The only amazing thing Meghan has done is promote herself.

Aww, OP this is one of mine and my dad's shows too. Love to you for that sweetness, which really spoke to me.

I'm the opposite way around though, generally I think I prefer harder sci-fi* to my dad! However, I also agree with your interpretation of Stargate. In fact, I'd say the show lost a little something when they inevitably had to bring in star ships and interstellar travel (both for humanity) in order to up the stakes. But at least they kept the mythology and how that related to humanity through basically the entire run.

*(I don't mind so-called soft sci-fi either tbh, but my dad isn't here for overly technical stuff and doesn't read science fiction novels.)

Never apologize for thinking Emma Stone is hot, because she naturally is.

Well, fandom can be cathartic for many and certainly it is for me. Growing up with fandoms is great because you can look back and go "wow, I still like that!" or "wow, I see that in a completely different light now" and think properly.

I don't think the point WAS that Russel deserved to die, but that his parents greatly fucked him up with their actions and without his "coping mechanism" of almost not feeling anything at all, and going from that to feeling GUILT in particular with no therapy to help him deal with the overwhelming emotional pain he was dealing with... yeah that wasn't going to end well.

The situation that put him there was awful and the "reform" was incredibly flawed.

I mostly agree with you, but I do accept that Spike did that, because that /was/ him at his worst, and while it was badly written and overall fucking awful, I always think about the fact that /he/, a soulless monster, was horrified at himself too, and he immediately took off to get his soul back, to "be the kind of man [Buffy] deserves, the kind of man who would /never/--".

It's a complicated issue, and I'm not saying he should be forgiven or let off the hook for what he did, but the fact that he hated himself for it meant something, for me at least.

buffy for me is bigger than the controversy around whedon; as my first foray into internet fandom, a big part of my life growing up, hell i've been to at least one wedding where whedon was explicitly thanked for his part in creating the show because of the people it brought together

so the news about carpenter going public with how he was a shit to her twenty years ago (news to anybody who wasn't in the fandom at the time, because everybody who was knew already) isn't going to make me cancel the show

Transcript by OP

[fscom]

proshippers: fiction isn't reality! the fact that fiction is fictional generates a magical barrier preventing it from, for example, being used as grooming material, or normalizing harmful views of consent!

antishippers: "proshipper" just means pedophile! being okay with adult/child pairings in fiction is exactly as harmful as being a pedophile in real life, because it means you Are A Pedophile, and everyone knows the harmful part of Being A Pedophile is Being A Pedophile - the part where real children in the real world are harmed by pedophiles' actions is totally irrelevant!

me: i hate you both so much. please burst into flames and/or die.

s!b: [clip from xkcd 774, Megan saying "Well, the important thing is that you've found a way to feel superior to both."]

b!s: i acknowledge that this secret is probably ill-advised, even on anon, but i'm so goddamned pissed off right now because i keep seeing this shit and I DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT PROBLEMATIC SHIPPING IN THE GODDAMNED FIRST PLACE
